On July 5 Animal Collective will released ODDSAC on DVD, preceded by special screenings at London’s ICA and other UK venues.

A film produced in collaboration with Danny Perez, ODDSAC is now being billed – with impeccable business sense – as “a visual album”. It’s further described as “a dense and surreal layering of audio and visual elements that eschews conventional narrative to create a visceral, immersive experience”. You can view a trailer here.

ODDSAC does boast an original score with new songs from Animal Collective, and is the result of four years of “intense collaboration” with Danny Perez, a first-time filmmaker who has worked on visuals for Black Dice and Panda Bear in the past.

“It was meant to be an open-ended marriage of audio and video,” says Perez, “The passing back and forth of visuals and sound so that each would inform the other and create an organic structure.”

The film will have its UK premiere at the ICA on May 13. Details of that and subsequent screenings in Manchester and Leeds are as follows:
